Statement of Faith

I believe in God the Father, Creator of all things; in Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer, and in the Holy Spirit, our Comforter. (Ref. Mk 1: 10-11; Jn 14: 15-16; Jn 14: 26; Jn 17: 5; Eph 4: 6; 1 Cor 8: 6)

I believe in the Person and Work of Jesus Christ, the true Son of God; His Virgin Birth; His sinless Life; His true Humanity; His Death on the Cross for our Sins; His Supernatural Resurrection; and, His Second Coming. I believe in the hope of eternal life through Christ. (Ref. Mt 1: 20-23; Jn 1: 14; Jn 17: 3; Heb 2: 14-15)

I believe the Holy Spirit dwells in every Christian and gives us the Power to live a Godly life. (Ref. Jn 3: 6; Jn 16: 7; Eph 1: 13-14; Phil 1: 6)

I believe in the Bible, which is the inspired Word of God; and is authoritative for faith and practice. (Ref. Jer 23: 28; Mal 2: 7-8; Acts 17: 11; 2 Tim 3: 6-7; 1 Jn 2: 12-14; Rev 22: 18-19)

I believe we are saved by faith alone, not by Works; however, we are saved to do Good Works that God has already laid out for us to do. (Ref. Rom 4: 5; Eph 2: 8-10; 1 Tim 2: 4)

I believe in the Spiritual Unity of all Believers in Jesus Christ, and the importance of Church for fellowship and teaching. (Ref. Heb 10: 25; 1 Jn 1: 3-4)
